  1. Ribbon Blenders Are Ideal For Coating And Mixing Processes 4/5/2011

    Solid-solid mixing sometimes involves powders that need to be uniformly coated with smaller particles of a different component. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  2. Tech Brief: Electronic Variable Speed Promotes Processing Flexibility In Ribbon Blenders - From Soft Start To Discharge 4/5/2011

    Over the years, many ribbon blenders were built without any provision for starting at slow speed. Unfortunately, a dead load start presents many disadvantages, all of which increase costs. The buyer must choose between using an over-sized drive train that is capable of delivering the peak horsepower needed to get the batch moving or a lower torque drive train that is appropriate for powering the blender once it is running but overloaded when starting.

  3. Electronic Variable Speed Promotes Processing Flexibility In Ribbon Blenders - From Soft Start To Discharge 4/5/2011

    Variable frequency drives enable ‘soft start’ of ribbon blenders, an essential feature that protects the system against a spike in start-up torque. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  4. Tech Brief: Eliminate 'Fish Eyes' In Your Mix 4/5/2011

    Inefficient mixing can lead to agglomerates and "fish eyes" which are difficult to disperse once formed. Using a high shear mixer equipped for powder induction helps prevent the formation of agglomerates, maximizes yield, and cuts cycle time. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  5. Tech Brief: High Speed Mixing: Saw-Tooth Dispersers Vs. Rotor/Stator Mixers 4/5/2011

    The saw-tooth disperser and rotor/stator mixer are two of the most widely used high speed mixers yet many are unaware of the differences in their utility and operating capacities. Knowing the unique attributes of these devices is important in mixer selection and process optimization. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  7. Improve Emulsion Stability Through Ultra-High Shear Mixing 4/5/2011

    The droplet size distribution of an emulsion largely dictates its stability. Today, ultra-high shear rotor/stator designs are available which can improve emulsion stability of certain formulations. By Charles Ross and Son Company

    Charles Ross & Son Company has announced the launch of a new website covering the company’s line of products sold to the Food Industry
  9. Building A Competitive Edge With Versatile Mixing Equipment 4/14/2004
    The specifications that define a mixer built for a pharmaceutical or cosmetic application reflect a combination of industry standards and the mixing functions needed for that particular application
  10. Double Planetary Mixing & Drying Of Granulations For Supplements

    Vitamin and mineral supplements in solid dosage forms undergo mixing, granulation and drying processes which have traditionally required multiple dedicated pieces of equipment.
